spooky Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Read it aloud! thats the best way, look at the punctuation...remember you follow the punctuation rather then the lines. Hope this helps at least a little.^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mattson Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Just scream the whole thing at the top of your lungs, like so: THERE ONCE WAS A MAN FROM NANTUCKET... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I`m with Spooky on this one, also it`s a good idea to Understand what`s trying to be said or felt, when you do this you will put your Own stressing on certain words. like playing a piece of Music, each player will play the same piece differently in the way They interpret it. this is called "Style".

MolotovCocktail Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I don't think this type of thread should be in here. this is a science forum after all and its about poetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
